What a boy must do!

Last night William wanted to protect this remote control car. Timmy had gotten it last year and William was determined that Timmy was NOT going to get it! He even took it to bed with him and wanted to sleep with it! Oh the things kids doo to protect toys that they don't want to share. It makes me laugh!

Beautiful weather

Yesterday we had some beautiful weather out! I have been waiting for this gorgeous day for awhile now. I spent most of the afternoon planting bulbs for the spring! I love to plant the bulbs and enjoy the beauty in the spring! I have blanted over 100 tulip bulbs in one flower bed, 50 daffadills in another bed and a box full of iris's that someone had give us. I love to make our yard beautiful. I would have contineud planted the rest of the tulip bulbs but the dear bulb planter had other plans for my hand and I got a big blister that poped. Not fun at all! Hopefully it will be better and I will be able to finish planting my bulbs this next week. What do you enjoy doing in the fall?

Procrastination is not always the best idea!

I am learning about this now at the age of 31! I spent the weekend busy around the house and neglacted my school work because I knew that I would have all of Monday afternoon to do my homework with only one child at home. Well....it did not happen that way at all! At 11:53a.m. I learn that I am going to be filling in at Timmy's preschool at 12:10p.m. Yes that is right I had less than 18mins to get ready but it gets better because I was in the middle of doing laundry and had no clean clothes! Well at least jeans! So, on November 2nd I wore capries to preschool. It wasn't that bad actually and we had fun. I did get all my homework done with an hour to spare before the class it was due in! All in days work of being a mom!

What a busy weekend!

So, this past weekend I had intended on making cookies on Saturday but instead ended up cleaning out and hanging all the kids toys in the garage. That was quiet the job because those lovely little orange hooks that you screw into the ceiling to hold all your toys...um yeah....they are not as easy as they look to put in. It took alot more time than I thought but hopefully I won't be having to do that anytime soon! So, Sunday afternoon the boys and I spent time baking cookies. Later I'll post the finished product but wanted to take time to blog a little as I am pooped! Oh, my where did this weekend go!? Will the fairy come to my hosue and do my laundry...oh where is she when you need her the most?

It's Timmy!

William!

Both my little cooks!

Leaves, Shots, and great friends!

Yesterday was a busy day at our house! We went and were finally able to get our flu and H1N1 shots! Yeah!!! The whole processes went smoothly expect for Timmy and Lily screaming. But they survived and William just looked and said ow! Then when we got home I thought it was nice out and so I had better start working on the leaves that were blanketing our front yard. I had borrowed the neighbors leaf blower and it saved alot of time. The kids had fun rolling in the pile of leaves and having leaves blowen on or at them! Needless to say now the yard is freshly blanketed with MORE leaves that fell over night.

Then usually once a week I go out to lunch with a friend since I have about an hour and 15 mins between my classes. My dear friend April and I went to the mexican resturant we have been going to. This was our 3rd visit there and when I asked about the lunch specials the guy was like you got this one last time! It's so great to go to a place where they remember you or maybe we go there alot! ;) The food is GREAT and the you get ALOT for your money! :) So, now today it is on to cleaning and preschool. Then I need to go memorize the metric system for a test on Tuesday. UGH....how I do not like it but it is something we must know! :)

No trick or treating for my kidos.....I told them I would just buy them a couple of bags of their favorite candy. Much cheaper than buying 3 costumes and going out in this lovely fall...ahem...rainy...weather!

My new favorite store!

I have found my new favorite store to go shopping at....Meijer! It is out of the way to get to but so worth it! They have great values and yesterday we had to get Hot Wheel cars for Girl Scouts and they had them 10 for $5. After I had gotten most of my grociers we went to the toy section where my littlest guy was having such fun just touching and looking at the toys. But my older one just had an absulet melt down because he could not get a $40 race track or hot wheel set. I was really proud of myself because I did not give in to his meltdown but instead told him to stop crying and he would be able to get a hot wheel car. He did not stop crying so he did not get he car. But through out the rest of the time in Meijer people just smiled and I smiled right back at them. I even had 2 ladies stop and chat with me about raising kids. It was such a pleasent experience. NO ONE said "he needs a nap". The best part was he was trying so hard not to cry he was crying and saying mom I'm not crying I'm laughing!

God's beauty!

This morning as I was driving Lily to school the beautiful horizon that I was able to enjoy was breath taking! It was a beautiful red with some orange in it. I thought of how God uses his hand to touch things around us to make a beautiful world. Over the past two weeks as I drive to school and home I have bathed in the beauty of the trees and colors that when God has dipped his paint brush into some beautiful and brilliant oranges, reds, and yellows you get a beautiful master piece around you. I also think of the time when I was at camp and we went outside at night to lay on the ground and look at the stars. At first you didn't see many because your eyes were still adjusting to the darkness but after you layed there for awhile you began to take in the beauty of a full summer night sky. It was AMAZING at how the longer you layed there the more stars you saw! God is pretty awesome! Have a blessed day!
